Hi everyone!
I'm new to this forum too.
MamaSutras, Are your bananas ripening now? I think you got your answer already... I normally buy my organic bananas when they are already starting to turn yellow.
I used to live in Hawaii until a year and a half ago! What island were you on? I was on the Big Island (Hawaii). I'm growing bananas in the desert in New Mexico now. I really miss the Hawaii bananas. We had a choice of about ten different organic varieties at the Farmer's Market. My favorites are the small apple bananas. It took me a long time to get used to the flavor of the bananas from Mexico and South America. I used to see truckloads of papaya on their way to the radiation plant...

"Permissions"? Did you mean persimmons? Those are yummy too! LOL
